This lake is really hitting higher temps in summer. It use to stay cooler throughout the season but the last few summers have been brutal. Fishing really can suck there in the warm water temps. Looks to be the new normal these days.

Fishing generally sucked. Unless of course you like catching 8” kokanee. I don’t, I wanted a few rainbow trout with some shoulders on them. Anyhow it was a great trip for hiking and camping. I must admit I really only fished a total of 3 hours. But I boated over 30 small kokes and no trout.

Cheers to you my friend. Be safe.

My buddy just dropped 3 pots in the bay around NOAA and got 8 keeper Dungeness. I have heard of others having luck also.

We took a Saturday afternoon drive up the Clackamas today. Ended at the Harriet Lake. I had not been up since PGE did work on the area. So now they have taken away all the parking on the road.

My apologies beforehand to all and the OP. This is pronounced ODELL. In all respect to Irish literacy,in which I am part Irish it is pronounced ODELL!, not O’Dell.Again sorry to all but every time I see this it drives me bonkers. End of my silly rant hope you understand uuggggg! It was named...

I think as we walk down memory lane we need to stay grounded,although not as fun. I ve been fishing the waters you speak of for almost 40 years. 40 years ago the population was a lot less in these parts. The Sandy/Salmon hole has been know by many for at least that time. Being one of the...

Did you enter through the Estacada side or Hwy 26? When will you be camping there? It’s my home lake maybe I will be there when you are. I ll get you into some fishes. Boat ramp at Pine Point is 45 minutes from my front door

Trout Parasites From the ODFW page, Copepod Copepods are common in fish and found throughout Oregon. Usually there are few parasites present on fish and they go unnoticed, however occasionally they can become numerous and quite evident on gills, in the mouth and at the base of the fish’s fins...
